Visa announced a pilot program for its stablecoin payment service, Visa Direct, targeting creators and gig workers. Through this official press release, Visa revealed that businesses can fund transactions in fiat currency, while recipients receive payouts in USD-backed stablecoins such as USDC. Transfers are completed within minutes, offering a faster alternative for cross-border payments. This pilot builds upon earlier tests and is aimed at reducing delays and improving accessibility to global funds.
